He Saw Hitler: Find God’s Man in Odd Places and Listen

He Saw Hitler: Find God’s Man in Odd Places and Listen April 26, 2015

Find a wise man, not a famous man.
Find a wise man, not a famous man.

Human history would be different if humans learned to find the people that know what God is doing and listened to those people. When you hear complaints about God failing to intervene in history remind yourself that He did speak, but our stupidity (masked as snobbery) kept us from hearing the truth. We tuned in to the charlatan with the microphone, not God’s man.

My grandfather on my mother’s side, Earl Combs, was a good man, but not a famous man. Nobody that “mattered” to the self-appointed elites cared what he thought, but he was God’s man. He spent his life serving the people of God and listening to what God was saying and like his wife (my Nana), God gave him visions of the world.

Here is a full account of one vision and what my Papaw saw as told to me by Mother:

He saw a man with an odd mustache. The man with the mustache was mounted on a horse. Both he and the horse were dressed in splendid military garb and were coming toward him. Then the man changed direction and as he turned away, Papaw saw to his horror that the whole rear of the horse was missing, leaving a trail of blood as he rode away. Soon after this vision, papa picked up a newspaper and saw a picture of the smiling man with a mustache who was gaining favor in Germany and around the world. His name was Adolph Hitler.

This will not be “evidential” to a skeptic, but I am writing to Christians not skeptics. I know my Papaw was an honest man. I know he had not thought much about Hitler or his plans. I heard this story (in part) myself.

I wish we had heeded his warnings, but nobody was listening to Papaw. We were listening to fools like Charles Lindberg who thought Hitler was a bastion against communism. We listened to appeasers and spiritual mediocrities in the Ivy Leagues who could not imagine that Stalin was evil and would sell us out to Hitler and make World II possible.

How often has this happened? How often has God spoken to hundreds of his people who were listening and our elites have failed to hear? How often have we been warned, but the warning came to the “least of these” and so the warning was not heard?

My Papaw was a great man: virtuous, brave, and kind. God likes great men, not famous men. America, if it is to be saved horrors, had better learn to listen to good men and not rich, powerful, tricksy syncopants to devils. We had better seek out the wisdom of the common person, the man after God’s own heart, who turns out to be uncommon in this time.

Right now God is revealing his Word to a housewife, to a homeschool mom, to a farmer in Oklahoma, and we will ignore this revelation because we are too busy listening to pastors who own jets, Christian academics with the right credentials, and those who suck up to the religious establishment.

God will not speak to the television evangelist, hands stained with widow’s pain, or the man who views ministry as a chance for money. God will not come to those who trust in their wisdom or their wealth. God comes to the wise, the  Papaw in West Virginia, who is listening and who will tell anyone who will listen not to trust the Hitlers of our own age.

Could I hear him? Am I listening? Would I even ask?

Lord Jesus Christ, son of God, have mercy on me, a sinner.
